First Giveaway of ’09, and It’s Classy!

The Vegas-based Classy Kid company has burst onto the kid product scene with a focus on germ defense and attempts to make “non-toxic” as green as can be.

They’ve scored in the Inside Out book with the Keep Me Coloring Placemats, the first set of disposable placemats for kids that are actually biodegradable. Packed in groups of 10 or 20 in convenient zip-packs, the Keep Me Coloring Placemats take the restaurant kid mats another step – the stick-em backing makes them mats that truly stay in place. So do the accompanying “CrayAngles,” triangular crayons that come in every Classy Kid placemat pack and won’t send you scrounging around on a grubby restaurant floor because they won’t roll off the table.

For little artists who want to hang around the house, the Classy Kid Full Sleeve Art Smocks will keep their clothes paint free (which is almost more important than keeping THEM clean). Packed in bags of two – one of them, and one for a friend – the smocks can be thrown directly in the wash, making this a green kind of clean. The fabric itself is soft enough and light enough for little arms to keep moving around, but the full sleeve art smock make-up resists the paint, so it doesn’t soak through to skin (or sweater). Sized for kids, the smocks have grow-with-me velcro closures, so they’ll last through their scribble phase on into stick figures.

Want to win a pack of the Keep Me Coloring Placemats or a set of Full Sleeve Art Smocks?

I love the potty protectors! What a great idea. With a potty training toddler that would be perfect. I would use those and my own seat that we bring everywhere! And the full sleeve art smock would be perfect for my little artists.

i think the potty protectors are great. im always freaking when we are out and about and my daughter has to go potty, she seems to have to go potty EVERYWHERE we go. so i have to take the time to get a wipe out and clean it off before she sits on it. its nervracking. thanksmommy2skie@yahoo.com

I realized I had to add one of these because people let their minds run away with them sometimes. Wait, where was I?

The reviews I put up on this site are NOT paid for by any company. They come from my little ol' head. Some of the products I found myself - on the 'net, at the store, or from other moms. Some were sent my way by publicists. Usually they didn't fit the mold of another project I was working on, but I thought they were so cool I couldn't help sharing!

As for what happens to the products I didn't care for - you'll never know! Because I won't write about them on here. So if you see it, I liked it. 'Nuff said!
